Hi

I'm trying to install the X-server.
As written in the guide I have to set the VIDEO_CARD value in make.conf.
But i don't know what to insert.
As Display controller i have an Intel Corporation mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphic controller.

Any idea?

thx
D.

And for the quesitons on how to make intel chip sets work to the max, I offer the .config files and the /etc/X11/xorg.conf files from my three machines as a means of getting your intel video working as well as can be expected.

.copnfig_1 .config_2 .config_3

xorg.conf_1 xorg.conf_2 xorg.conf_3

Systems 1 and 2 are 32 bit laptop machines. System 3 is a Core2 Duo 64 bit tower.

Blessed be!
Pappy
